GYCO leaders are organizers or “Ambassadors of Fun." They volunteer their time to lead great events. They are happy to share their knowledge. Note that we are not professionals or guides so everyone must be personally responsible for their safety and well-being. Yet it is our goal to combine knowledge of the activity, proper equipment and enough planning to make safety our highest goal. Nevertheless, accidents can happen. Personal responsibility is mandatory. By participating in our events, you agree not hold the leaders or members responsible for your safety. You don't have to be in great physical shape to participate. However, you should not have any health issues that would prevent you from enjoying physical exertion. As you enjoy various adventures with us, you will enjoy the feeling of getting in shape.

Please be respectful when you RSVP to events, and only RSVP if you know you will make the event especially if there is a limited number of spots available. If you end up with three no-shows; whether it's a no call/no show, or a cancel at the last minute 3 times within 7 days of event you may receive a verbal warning. After 3rd occurrence you could be removed from pending meetups you are signed up for and/or we have the right to remove you from GYCO but we hope we never have to do this because we really want to climb with you

If you do not want to receive all GYCO meetup email notifications simply go to your settings on your GYCO profile and uncheck the box that reads "email notification." You can always change it later if you want to get all meetup email notifications.

Please sign up with your full name. Our sign up process is partly a legal release form.

If you have questions, ask or email the founder or Event Organizers! Many Event Organizers love to help out new members and will gladly answer any questions you have about the trip, what gear to bring, weather, carpools, camping logistics etc. So have fun and be safe!
